Home for Christmas!

...arrived back safe and sound on friday at 9:40 a.m....briana and i kissed the floor in the airport when we got out of the plane...so good to be HOME...o canada, my home and native land....no place like HOME!!

...there's nothing like seeing the smiling faces of my beautiful daughter and cute, cuddly grandson...what a sight for sore, tired eyes!!...with flowers for me...how thoughtful...

..met briana's parents, john and colleen and brother travis...lovely people...colleen had some flowers for me too...thanks colleen...really want to get to know you better...hopefully over the holidays...

...shawna, noah and i left the airport and proceeded to do some christmas shopping...yes i had flown for 14.5 hours but you know me...energy to burn...got keep on the move....shopping, lunch and then back to their house to get sorted out...received some beautiful flowers from michael in england...thank you michael...you are so thoughtful!!...

...there is still snow but the weather is pretty mild, although it is a lot colder than kuwait!!...hopefully the snow will stay for christmas...

...got to see my lovable son-in-law timmy briefly and then shawna and i went to a concert that she was singing in with her friend jacob moon in kitchener...it was a christmas concert with some old and new songs....shawna sang one of my favourite christmas songs 'breath of heaven'...she has the voice of an angel...yes, i am prejudiced but it is TRUE!!...a wonderful start to the christmas season for me...I LOVE CHRISTMAS...everything about it...food, family, friends but most of all the real meaning and reason for the season... celebrating the birth of Christ!!

...saturday was spent with jo-anne...starting with breakfast at (not tiffany's)the jitterbug cafe in waterdown with the 'gang'...it was val's birthday...happy birthday val...had baby noah with me...proud gammy had to show him off...he is such a good, happy baby...cooing, smiling and rocking in his little chair...love you noah!!...then on to a pedicure and reflexology at agnes'....ahhhhh....heaven!!...then a little shopping...picked up a rental car...then back to shawna's to pick up some clothes for overnight at jo-anne and andrew's...played euchre with patty, stacey and jo-anne...fun!!
